It is always my birthday

I have started a Virginia Bound form Bonnie Hunters book " Scraps and Shirttails " from clothing that my sisters gave me, from their hubbies and sons and some of my husbands. This is how much I got done.

Our box making class was great fun. I did finish my pencil box, plus a summer keep sake box and I had time to make a third box. I am never going to be as good as the instructor lady, you can see that my pencil block is a bit crocked. But I like it anyway.

Wednesday I had a sew day with friends. We all got a lot done, even so we chatted and ate and laughed.
Here are some photos of our work.
Am Mittwoch hatte ich einen Naehtag mit Freundinnen. Wir haben alle was geschafft bekommen, obwohl wir viel geschwaetzt und gegessen und gelacht haben.

Conny's baby quilt almost done. She thought to sash it with white, but all of us loved this red. So did Conny.

My quilt guild is having a fabric box making class this month. I am going to make a box for my markers, and decided since I was doing my sisters quilt in red, orange and yellow to make my box the same colors.
The pencil pattern is from a dear friend of mine, and I think it is going to make a great box. I made the box before in Western Washington State shop hop fabric.

Well, they are done. Now I need to set them on point and sew them together with black side triangles and corner triangles.
The little squares are done on paper with left over orange, red and yellow strips Bonnie Hunter style. I love her website, go check it out ( Quiltville.com ) , and I will add them to the border which is mainly black with whatever leftover red, orange and yellow design I can come up with. Hope my sister will like it.

My sister commissioned me to make her a red, orange and yellow quilt. I got started the other day and I have not quite made half the blocks. I like the pattern , it is easy but nice. These scraps here are just to tease you, if you want to see the blocks you will have to check in some other day.
